Wayne McGregor does not like to be bored, and continually sets new challenges for himself and his dancers. He is also fascinated with neuroscience, so in his new work entitled, "Entity" he explores the question of "What is the relationship between the brain and the body". Original music Joby Talbot, Jon Hopkins.
Wayne McGregor founded the Random Dance Company in 1992, at the age of 22, achieving international renown thanks to the exploration of the relationship between dance and technology, and collaborating with multidisciplinary artists in creations that have consecrated his company as one of the leading groups on the British scene. Winner of the “Time Out Live Award” in 2001 and again in 2003, and courted by the mainstream of international dance, Wayne McGregor has received commissions from the Royal Ballet and the Rambert Dance Company, but has also been responsible for the choreographic movements in the fourth episode of the Harry Potter film saga, The Goblet of Fire, created the choreography for the musical by Andrew Lloyd Weber, Woman in White, site-specific installations for the Hayward Gallery, Canary Wharf, Centre Pompidou, and was director and choreographer for Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell at the Teatro alla Scala. The thirty-seven year old McGregor was recently nominated resident choreographer of the Royal Ballet, the first in 16 years and the only one from the world of contemporary dance.
